The second man in the Nazi regime tried in vain to avoid punishment at the Nuremberg trials. On November 20, 1945, an international military tribunal began the trial of twenty-one leaders of the Third Reich. The tribunal indicted fanatical ideologues and ruthless ministers, shameless propagandists and merciless generals. The main figure in the trial was to be Reich Marshal and second-in-command of the Nazi hierarchy Hermann Göring. The first part of the documentary film shows the preparation of the indictment, the gathering of evidence, and at the same time an examination of Göring's life, his career as a soldier and politician. The whole world was waiting for the start of the trial, which was to culminate in the struggle between justice and evil.
